<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
String.prototype.trim = function() {

// skip leading and trailing whitespace
// and return everything in between
var x=this;
x=x.replace(/^\s*(.*)/, "$1");
x=x.replace(/(.*?)\s*$/, "$1");
return x;
}
</script>


use it like:
myStr = " happpy ";
alert ("--"+myStr.trim()+"--");

The code doesn't work.

what the $1 mean?

May I use the same idea for JScript ASP programming.?I get data with whitespace from database and want to display them.

Thanks

the $1 is for the regex/replace pattern, tells regex to return the first match in the pattern supplied
